## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the demonstration programs in The Stanford GraphBase. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

A general introduction to the GraphBase can be found in */usr/doc/sgb/abstract.dvi*, and more details appear in the man page [*sgb*(1)](/sgb/1.md).  The details of these demonstration programs are best found by reading the code, which can be found in the directory */usr/doc/sgb/src*.  The code includes a description of the appropriate options. The code may be read directly, or can be turned into a pretty-printable TeX form by using the **cweave** program.  See the [*cweb*(1)](/cweb/1.md) manpage for more details. The programs are very understandable, although a full introduction to them can only (currently) be found in Chapter 1 of the book by Donald E. Knuth entitled *The Stanford GraphBase: A Platform for Combinatorial Computing* published jointly by ACM Press and Addison-Wesley (1993), ISBN 0-201-54275-7.

## BUGS

Genuine bugs may be reported to Donald Knuth via email to *sgb@cs.stanford.edu.* **PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS EMAIL ADDRESS FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN TO** **REPORT BUGS IN THE STANFORD GRAPHBASE. PROF. KNUTH DOES NOT ACCEPT** **UNSOLICITED EMAIL.**
